These are generally used for individual display as you see in the pictures. Some may be modified to greater or lesser degrees in vignettes and dioramas. This is one of the standard figure sizes, perhaps the most common, for figure painters and sculptors.
OK, sorry. I just can’t work on stuff that small, bu that’s me. If I tried to paint something like that it would look like…well…not good. LOL It’s some very nice work though. I would have had no idea it was that small.
Sometimes I like to shoot my black powder guns
The Man with no Name pictured in the Magazine is 1/6 not 1/8 I have one
Did you build it yet?
Agreed. I was treated by a friend to 30 or so rounds at the range with his Taurus .44. I think if you respect it without fearing it, you can hit the paper without injury to yourself very consistantly. I love the “empty Coke bottle” sound it makes.
I know what you mean!Cool sound!We shot .44 specials through it also and the recoil was neglible.
No I have just done some light sanding to remove the seams
I love where he is in the ER in the next scene getting the shotgun pellets taken out of his leg. The doctor gets ready to cut the pant leg and Harry tells him no, he’ll take them off so the pants aren’t ruined…As if the pellet holes and blood haven’t ruined them enough!!!
From one of the angles it looks a bit like the guy that played Wolverine…Hugh Jackman??
In a time long ago I was a range rat and saw all kinds of .44 revolvers fired with every type of load. I’ve seen small liquor store owners knocked over backwards, and come up laughing. I’ve seen CHP speed load six into the target. But they carried the .357.
Factors include porting of course, the other usual physics and the competence of the shooter.
There’s nothing to suggest Clint knew his stuff, of course Inspector Callahan did. But its all fantasy. Harry is legend to me and to my buds from the shooting fraternity in the City in the 60’s- 70’s.
“My, that’s a big one”.
Other good model subjects from our fair City include “Bullitt”;
Pistol: 2 1/2 inch barrel Colt Diamondback
Car: Mustang GT-390
Figure: Jackie Bissett in his Brooks Bros. buttondown.
Back in the day the cool thing for REAL detectives was the S&W 2 1/2 inch .357 mag. Yeah right, ever shoot one at night with magnum ammo? Kinda reminded me of a scene out of Star Wars, big orange ball of light. I think the suspect was scared into surrendering by the sight alone!
And the back-up gun in an ankle holster was the Charter Arms .44 Bulldog!

I have one of the 1/6 kits you show if you are still looking for one contact me at srbrown@bresnan.net
Thanks Rob!I would like to get that kit!
That translates to 1/32 scale
I could never do anything that small, with that amount of accuracy and realism. Excellent work.
Hi there!
If you’d like to be in with a chance of winning a figure of the Preacher (from the 1985 film Pale Rider), just post in this thread:
It is a white metal figure from White Tower Miniatures. This maker continues the great tradition of British Toy Soldiers, designing, sculting and casting their product ranges wholly within the UK.
Wish you all good luck!
A year and a half spam BUMP for these?
Pass.
Where’s a banhammer when ya need one? That was pretty sad… Unless they’re like 2:1 scale…
Or, if you want 28mm:
Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cattivo
